Bow Wow Reveals Past Suicidal Thoughts, Drama with His Child’s Mother

Timothy Kuratek/CBSIn a recent shocking interview with Vlad TV, Bow Wow opens up about some troubling periods in his life, including a dark turn years ago when he considered suicide. “I was in a dark space…right around that third album. That’s when I was just…done,” says Bow Wow.

“My boys get on me because I like to sit in the house, and my answer and my response is because I’ve done everything,” Bow Wow explains. “I’ve been everywhere, three times and four times again. I’ve done everything. There’s not a girl I ain’t smash, it ain’t a place I ain’t been, it ain’t a hotel room I ain’t stayed in, it ain’t a car I ain’t drove. So for me, life is all about just making sure everything is…operating right. Cause I’ve done everything.”

The television host and former rapper also talks about his past tempestuous relationship with his child’s mother, Joie Chavis, and what could have triggered their previous drama.

“Really just, two people with different views on life. Different upbringings…just two different opinions. Just two different minds,” he says. “Me playing games, of course. Broken promises, things like that. It stemmed before my daughter was even born.”

Now, Bow just wants to live and let others live in harmony. “I’m at a point in my life where I just want everybody to be happy. I want everybody to have they own peace and everybody live they life,” he declares.
